I have used opera and continue to try every single beta and alpha released every other month. Opera does have a small memory footprint and better memory management overall; but what does that has to do with flash memory leaking/hogging problem? How is opera going to manage 100s of tabs running in the background with flash element chipping away memory? The problem is flash not the browser. The more tabs you have open with flash elements in them, the more memory they are going to use. The solution to that problem is to either not have insane amount of tabs open or use flashblock.
